Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. Member species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and those species are commonly known simply as "hibiscus", or less widely known as rose mallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. A tea made from the flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa is known by many names around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is known for its red colour, tart flavour, and vitamin C content.

Usage: Boil 1 glass of water. Add 1-2 tablespoons of dried hibiscus flowers into it. Brew for 5-10 minutes. Strain. You can consume it hot or cold.

Traditional Use

Hibiscus (karkade, roselle) gives a ruby-red, tangy tea loved from Egypt to Mexico. Whole flowers are traditionally used:

As a refreshing tonic for strength and energy, during demanding mental and physical work
As a rich natural source of vitamin C and anthocyanin antioxidants
To support the body's natural defenses in the cold season
To support healthy blood pressure already within the normal range and a healthy heart
Hot or iced, in summer drinks, punches and syrups
